the transformer from the power outlet.
Damage to the cord or charger could
occur and create an electric shock hazard.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edges or moving parts. Replace damaged

increase the risk of electric shock.
4.
Make sure cord is located so that it
will not be stepped on, tripped over,
come in contact with sharp edges or
moving parts, heat, oil, or otherwise
subjected to damage or stress. This
will reduce the risk of accidental falls,

line voltage, resulting in a loss of power
and overheating of charger. An AWG
(American Wire Gauge) size of at least 14-
gauge is recommended for an extension
cord of 25-ft, or less in length. Use
12-gauge for an extension cord of 50-ft.
